Purchased this truck on 5/26/05. Had it only three days and had to put it in the shop for automatic transmission repair. It was in the shop for four days. First gear went bad after only 500 miles. It doesn't turn as close as my old Yukon but it is a larger vehicle. The engine is powerful. I can't even feel my trailer. I like the looks. For an XLT it doesn't have some of the options I thought it would have. ie. lumbar seat, rear A/C. I really like the truck. I'm just disappointed with the transmission problem and the lask of service from the dealer. I'm just waiting for something else to break. It also is a little bumpy. Maybe that's normal.
It's OK, but check out the Dodge too

The '05 replaced my '03, both Duramax, and I have to say that I liked my '03 better. I don't know what GMC did between then and now, but whatever it was, I don't like it. I test drove a Dodge both times and thought that they rode too hard and the back seat was too small. On the other hand, is it worth $10 grand to get a GMC that also rides hard and has a slightly larger rear seat that I'm never going to ride in? To be sure, it's a nice car, but I'm starting to wonder if I shouldn't have bought the Dodge and put the $10 grand into my future Cessna fund. Come on GMC, for fifty grand you guys can do better! If you don't believe me look at your last 3 quarters sales numbers.

I bought my Duramax Diesel 2500 Hd crew cab to pull a 36 foot fifth wheel. There is plenty of power; however, have had a few problems. The speedometer failed at about 60000 miles and had to be replaced. I have read that this is a common problem but there is a class action lawsuit and I plan to turn in my 478.00 receipt and hopefully get reimbutsed from GM. The engine light came on and paid to have the code read which was relatively meaningless but haven't had any more problems with that. I added a Superchip which is amazing how much perfromance improvement. Have heard that some people have burned up transmission with Superchip but I always reset to towsafe prior to pulling anything.

This 6.6L turbo with the 5 speed auto trans performs excellently whether driving empty or pulling a 30' RV. Interior is very plush (all the bells and whistles)and extremely quiet and comfortable on the road. The dash layout and field of vision behind the wheel is excellent. Added a bedrug and Pace Arrow bed-locker with power tail gate for security and improved MPG. Added ONKI brush guard for added protection from Colorado wildlife. This is a real truck for all occassions with added luxury and comfort!!! For '06 the manufacture has added 30 hp and 6 speed auto trans to an already outstanding rig.
